Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 81
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE An otherwise ordinarily occurring epidermoid cyst in most of the cases is considered as a benign and harmless one.(1) It is of an epidermal origin and it usually presents itself on body parts such as the scalp, trunk and face.(2) Although, frequently encountered and detected in surgical practice, its appearance as a giant epidermoid cyst on the scalp is rare.(1) These growths are often neglected, but when they force the patient to seek help medically they are most of the times surgically excised.
